All Chapters of The Apocalypse Survival Manual: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

The earthquake warning had saved countless lives, and survivors from neighboring cities were still flooding into the area.With demand so high, housing prices continued to rise.Polar night was approaching, with smog and acid rain expected afterward. Renters could lose their homes at any time, so anyone who could afford to buy a place had every reason to do it.Nicole fully supported the idea. "That's great! The sooner you buy, the better."They were all strong and capable, so making a living wasn't a problem. Beatrice, especially, felt as though she had been given a second chance now that she had recovered.A new goal gave them something to work toward. They raised their glasses to a fresh start.By a little after 6 p.m., everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.Nicole brought out some peanuts and sunflower seeds. "Poppy grew these herself. Try some.""Wow, Poppy! That's incredible!"Poppy blushed at the praise and ducked behind Nicole.Beatrice and the others had brought mo

After lunch, Nicole brought down several bottles of skincare products, all unopened and still in their original packaging. "We found these while scavenging a long time ago. Take them and see what you can get for them. If they don't sell, don't worry about it."Sven readily agreed. "They'll sell. Guaranteed." He could sell just about anything if he put his mind to it.Nicole also brought down two cartons of cigarettes. "A friend gave us these. They probably weren't stored very well because they've lost some of their flavor."Hughie and the others had brought them over the day before. Zeph didn't smoke, and Nicole had plenty of better brands in her storage space, so there was no point keeping these until they went completely stale.Delighted by the unexpected haul, Sven asked, "What do you want in return?""Fresh beef or lamb, if you can find any."Sven hadn't made a deal in several days and was already itching to get back to business. He left Brandon at Villa 50 and headed out

If the Robinsons couldn't find a doctor soon, their only option would be to fly Marcus to the government base.But the Robinsons had already left the base, and it wasn't somewhere they could simply return to whenever they wanted. Even if they made it back, they would still have to negotiate with the officials in charge, and emergency surgery couldn't be arranged at a moment's notice.By the time everything was settled, Marcus might have already bled to death.Zeph didn't want Nicole going alone, so he accompanied her to the Robinsons' villa.The house was in complete chaos. Before they even reached the living room, Marcus's agonized screams echoed through the halls. "Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts!"He certainly didn't sound like someone on the verge of death.This was Nicole's first time inside the Robinsons' home. The interior felt like a different world, with soaring ceilings and the kind of lavish decor found in a luxury hotel. Everything screamed wealth, from the enormous crysta

That thought made Nicole curious. "Do you know how to fly a helicopter?" she asked Zeph."Yes."Seriously, what kind of superhuman officer was he? Was there anything he couldn't do?"The department regularly selected its top officers for specialized training," Zeph explained matter-of-factly.Nicole tossed a snack at him. "Of course they did, Mr. Perfect."With neither of the little ones around, Zeph spoke without the slightest embarrassment. "I'm quite a catch, and I still fell for you. That must make you pretty special."Nicole stared at him. "When did you get so full of yourself?"After successfully making himself at home at Villa 50, the mastiff began showing up every day. Before long, he even started dragging Marcus along in his wheelchair.Nicole frowned at him. "You're still in this condition, and you keep parading around the neighborhood. Aren't you embarrassed?""You're the only person in this neighborhood who doesn't show me any respect," Marcus said.Nicole could

Polar night would plunge the neighborhood into complete darkness. To improve security, the HOA proposed installing exterior lights at every house. The lights would make it easier for the guards to patrol and might discourage criminals from entering the area.Nicole didn't care what happened to strangers, but if one house was overrun, the rest could easily be next. She offered a suggestion. "Installing the lights beside the front doors isn't safe. If criminals get inside, they could smash them with a single rock. I suggest mounting them beneath the second-floor eaves and protecting them with metal cages."Her advice was ignored. Jocelyn still resented Nicole for refusing to treat her son and nearly letting him die. She didn't openly argue, but she acted as though Nicole hadn't spoken.Marcus, however, immediately supported the idea. "Nicole's right. We should do it her way."Jocelyn nearly choked with anger.As soon as the homeowners' meeting ended, Ethan hurried after Zeph and
